Losi Rock Rey

[bicketybam]

Just finished it up and I'm waiting for a battery to charge. Here are some pics. I'll post up my impressions after I run it.

I'm leaving for the hobby store in an hour

Is it 1:5 scale

 

[Krathead]

This one is 1/10. They make a super Rock Rey though that is bigger

Looks good man!

Is it 1:5 scale

Negative, but I want the 1/5 scale one badly.

A short running video. Truck drove better than expected and jumped way better than expected. I did flip over a bit, but new tires will fix that. While the sidewall is super soft, the stock tires have a lot if grip and would be good for slower crawling. More thoughts in a bit, but I can tell you I am pleased with the purchase. Well worth $250 and a day’s assembly.

Nice racer, I had a venom creeper with Novak goat 11.1 and it was too fast for a crawler

nice looking basher! $250? that's a bargain, where did you buy it? I thought the Losi Rock Rey was ~$400

I bought the kit. No electronics.

It looks pretty quick. What motor and ESC did you put in it? (My LHS didn't have one in stock)

I put a Castle Mamba X and a 1512-2650kv sensored motor in it. This is what I had in my original Granite and then my Big Rock Crew Cab.

How did the granite like the 1512

Blown composite driveshafts galore.

I’d like to keep this thread about the Rock Rey, PM me any questions about the BRCC/Granite.

 

[Krathead]

Still looking but I can't seem to find one in town anywhere.

Got some upgrades coming from my LHS.

Aluminum servo horn: https://www.horizonhobby.com/aluminum-servo-arm-25t:--baja-rey-p-los331007
Aluminum lower rear trailing arms: https://www.horizonhobby.com/aluminum-lower-rear-trailing-arm-set:-baja-rey-p-los334006
I’m also getting the aluminum front shock towers and brace that replaces this: https://www.horizonhobby.com/frshktwr-brace-cmbr-linkmnt-rr-los231022 I can’t find the actual part though, but the guy had it up on his screen in the store. Oh, this is the brace: https://www.horizonhobby.com/front-camber-link-mount-aluminum:-rock-rey-p-los334010 Still can’t find the towers though. Weird.

The kit came with two upgrades included: https://www.horizonhobby.com/aluminum-rear-upper-link---space-set:-baja-rey-p-los331004 and https://www.horizonhobby.com/al-axle-housing-upper-track-rod-mount:-baja-rey-p-los334002 I thought that was a nice added value for a $250 kit. Losi has several other aluminum upgrades and Hot Racing makes a bunch as well. I’m really digging this truck.

Had my first breakage yesterday. I was using my ramp and I landed on the front tire, nose down. It was also 32 degrees out, so that didn't help. I ordered the metal replacements.
